your colors and tones are flat/dull...did you do curves/levels?

Very interesting, I like the detail you were able to capture on the spider. I would have liked it better with a little more contrast, but that's just my opinion.

Im not a big fan of spiders, but this is a good shot. I like your choice of angle, to capture a bit of the web in focus.

The lighting is washing the photo out a little. Immediately when I looked at your photo, I thought "I bet this would rock in B&W". If you converted it, the lighting would probably make the spider stand out more. Cool photo though!

Picture looks very faded. Some contrast and sharpening would help.

Hello from the Critique Club:

I didn�t vote in the Rule of Thirds Challenge so this is the first time I�ve looked at your image. My first impression was �The image meets the challenge and the tilt of the boat looks intentional and provides a dramatic affect�. I can tell from coloration of the image that your intent was an artistic conversion of the image you captured. However, as stated in the comments by many of the voters, the focus is really blurry and the post processing looks overdone. I would suggest next time you try to shoot from a moving boat or vehicle that you increase your ISO so you can shoot at a faster shutter speed. This should help the blurry focus issue that this image has.

If you like artistic post processing, I say good for you. However, they don�t score well at DPC and you should get discouraged over a low score if you achieved the effect you were trying for.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

I like the tilt in this, but it's just too blurry.
